Weasel Assignment Standard Exam Task: Apply Authorities Studied to New Hypothetical or “Fact Pattern” • HERE: Structured Sequence of Arguments • Three sets of specific arguments for each party • Each Team Submits Two Sets + a Tie-Breaker Argument • Helpful to Do Unassigned Set of Arguments Yourself • Not everything you could say about the hypo • But together, good basis for an exam answer
Weasel Assignment Two Important Skills to Practice • Isolation: Focusing on One Narrow Topic at a Time • Dialogue: Finding Best Arguments for Each Party
ISOLATION: Focusing on One Narrow Topic at a Time Common Idea in Many Contexts • Exercise or Massage Muscle Groups • Football Film/Replays Individual Players • Cooking Specific Ingredients
Weasel Assignment Two Important Skills to Practice • ISOLATION: Focus on One Narrow Topic at a Time • Read Instructions Carefully & Confine Each Argument to its Stated Topic: • (#1/#2) Specific Language from Shaw -OR- • (#3/#4) Facts of Shaw - OR - • (#5/#6) Labor Policy • How Literal? Very!! (Cf. Reality TV Challenges)

Weasel Assignment Two Important Skills to Practice • DIALOGUE: Finding Best Arguments for Each Party • Built into Structure of This Assignment • Until Highest Court in State Decides Open Q • No “Right” Answer • Just Best Available Arguments • Good Exam Answers Reflect This & Often Sound Like Schizophrenic Monologues
DIALOGUE: Finding Best Arguments for Each Party Legal Smeagols
Weasel Assignment Some Final Points • Suggested Structures: Use Unless Clear Reason to Change • Tie-Breaker Qs: Challenge is to Simultaneously: • Address Strengths & Weaknesses of Prior Arguments • Make New Points (Don’t Just Repeat & Announce Winner) • Show Split if Team Disagrees • Appropriate Length: Depends on Substance of Each Argument • No Particular Lengths Suggested or Anticipated • Proofread; Edit; Be Concise BUT • Include All Steps Necessary to Logic of the Argument
Weasel Assignment Some Final Points • Working Together (v. Collage of Individual Work) • Take Advantage of Multiple Perspectives • Be Cooperative (Different LComm Schedules; Rosh Hashanah; Uranium & Krypton Briefs; Contracts Midterms) • Keep Each Other on Track • Re Both Time & Substance (e.g., Isolation) • Diplomacy as Lawyering Skill • Look at Entire Submission to Avoid Repetition/Overlap
